[Verse 1]
Heaven is a truck
It got stuck
On the breeze
Ask the driver nicely, "I need a lift"
I need release
The sand in the boats
On the rose-covered floats
[Chorus]

I know the sharks, they don't have wings
But, lady, you need some cold advice about a few things
Loosen my dress
Tie me up just like all the rest
[Chorus]
She is the queen of the Casa Pasadena (House of California), thrill
She is the queen of the House of California (Casa Pasadena), thrill
She is the queen of the Casa Pasadena (House of California), thrills
